Sure wish they'd get some serious competition instead of gouging small business owners.


That stinks. UPS, FedEx, and other large consumers of gas generally contract their gas months ahead so they can keep rates relatively stable and avoid losing money if gas spikes up. Good plan if gas prices are expected to climb but not so good in prices fall like they are now.
